Question

Dana was picking strawberries to sell and placing them in baskets on a table. The number of strawberries in the basket is 4 more than the number of baskets on a table. If b represents the number of baskets on each table, which expression can be used to represent the number of strawberries on 5 tables?

5b4

5(b + 4)

5b(b + 4)

5b + 4

Answer 1

Choose the best definition for the following phrase: like terms

A letter that holds the place for some unknown value in mathematics

A process where you must look for terms that have identical variable parts and then combine their coefficients

A process where if two things are equal, one can be put in the place of the other and nothing will change

Terms that have identical variable parts

Answer 2

first question: the question is asking for you to find the expression really. when finding the expression, you want to know what each number or variable stands for. we know that b stands for the number of baskets, then 5 for tables, and 4 for strawberries. we know that we have to find how many strawberries are there. so what I would do is 5b+4. since there are b baskets in 5 tables, with 4 more strawberries.

question two: (coming right up)

Answer 3

question two: for this question, I will use an expression instead of describing the definition hence I think that this will be straightforward.
really what this is when you are combining the terms that are same. in short, with the same variables.

so what choice paraphrases what I just said.
